How did you choose your plastic surgeon when no one checked every box?

I'm hoping to get some advice from people who have already gone through this!!

I'm 5'4", 143 lbs after significant weight loss, and I've narrowed my search down to two surgeons for a Lipo 360 + tummy tuck + BBL. The problem is that each surgeon has something I really like, and neither one checks every box 🫠

One surgeon has a lot of post-weight-loss patients whose before bodies look very similar to mine (loose skin, similar fat distribution, etc.), and I love his tummy tuck/liposculpting results. The downside is he doesn't post many healed BBL results.

The other surgeon posts a lot more healed results, and his patients' after bodies are much closer to the aesthetic I'm going for (natural, balanced proportions), but I don't see as many patients who started with a body like mine.

For those of you who have been through this, what ended up being the deciding factor? Did you choose the surgeon whose patients looked like you before surgery, or the one whose after results matched your goal? Or was there something else entirely that made the decision for you?

I'd love to hear what you wish you had considered before choosing your surgeon !
